Preview: The Bucks thumped Charlotte 131-102 Monday at home after they had lost four of five games. At 36-37, they are firmly in position for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference and trail seventh-place Boston by 1.5 games. … The Wolves beat the Bucks 95-85 at Target Center in the season’s first meeting between the teams, on Nov. 30. But they’ve lost seven of their past eight games in Milwaukee.

Players to watch: It’s not very often the Wolves’ starting backcourt faces one that’s their own size, but it happens with a Bucks pairing of Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis. Together, they are averaging 37.1 points a game.
